Craig Ferguson

At least in viral video terms, British comic James Corden has been having a notable start to his tenure as the host of CBS‘ The Late Late Show; replacing the hilarious and well-regarded, but generally quite modest Craig Ferguson.

Not long after David Letterman announced his retirement from his long-running CBS late night show, his longstanding 12:30 follow-up, Scottish comedian Craig Ferguson, announced that he too would be stepping away from his talk show desk.

Only a couple of months past Jay Leno’s retirement, and only a couple of weeks after David Letterman announced his plans to leave late-night TV next year, Scottish comedian Craig Ferguson (PeekYou profile here) — Dave’s longstanding TV follow-up — has made known his intention to step down as the host of CBS‘ The Late Late Show, at the end of 2014.
